I have seen mixed reviews,some saying its a little slow to navigate,display not bright enough?Others say its fine.Any feedback out there?Does it get hot??
Initial reports are the A510 is better due to brighter display, less heat, more battery life and faster performance.
Tegra 3 is probably not very efficient pushing a high res display like this.

Do you realise this is obvious ? of course all that is true since they're the same

I beg to differ. I've both here and only the battery life is better with the A510. The display quality of the A510 is no match for the A700. And I don't see it getting more warmer too. I've tested shadow gun for 20 min (not an heavy gamer) a well a riptide and it doesn't get warmer than its younger brother.
Like already discussed there's an occasional lag buy this is also subjective as everybody sees it differently (but its there).

After playing with both tablets for about a well, the A700 is a keeper while the A510 is going back to Amazon tomorrow. Am very satisfy with the performance of A700.
It has always been the same for every mobile device, there will always be complains because there is no such thing as a perfect device. Some are waiting for the infinity or Huawei HD pad. Be sure to know that, they will also come with different issues.
All the same, everybody should be able to make up their mind about what they need a tablet for and which tablet fit their need. For me the A700 does that so well.
I look forward to testing the 700 as soon Best Buy gets them in.
How is the screen brightness? On the videos that i have seen the screen looks very dark even at full brightness

not at all, brightness is really better than my previous A500!
Better life is good too, performances are very nice.
The only annoying problem is the hot bottom right side of the tablet when I play games, pretty hot at some point.

"Warm" is what I'd prefer to say. "Hot" sounds a bit like it hurts to touch.
The energy of 4 x 1,3 Ghz must go somewhere and it's better the cover gets warm than the CPU is overheating.

The A510 screen is more brighter when watching a movie, but the images are sharper with the A700. I'll try a different video player and report back.
Thanks for the input guys. Keep them coming. How much of a battery life impact has it been in actual practice so far? Less that A510 is expected but just wondering if someone has run quantifiable tests.
Another thing that concerns me is that devs might skip the A510 altogether since A700 will see a lot more buyers although I am hearing locked bootloaders and what not for A700 so far.

Agreeing, it might be unpleasant for some, but not really harmful.
Hm...
I like my a700, but today i tested some "grafic Apps".
Everytime i start Real Racing (preinstalled) or Glowball (tegra zone), some graficbugs apear and the Apps closes.
Anybody similar issues?

How.about tegra 3 optimized games like sonic episode 2 and maybe shadowgun tegra 3
Sent from my A510 using XDA Premium HD app
hi there,
.. well i got my a700 on friday .. i the couple of days and in 'half-normal' use i can say some things too ..
.. first, the a700 i quite fast in 3D-gaming .. i installed and played shadow gun, samurai ii and gta-iii .. the heating on the right backside is correct .. but that's the only heat issue ..
.. on the 'laging' thing .. the homescreen is fast and responsive when it's 'virgin' .. it lags with live wallpapers .. i tried the 'water' livescreen and i installed inferno- and ice galaxy livescreen .. on all 3 the touching laged in responce and in swipping the homescreens around for some milliseconds .. also when i have some 'backgroundloading' widgets for twitter and facebook runing it also lags some milliseconds .. but the timerespond feeling is relative to any of us .. as long it's only that what i got till now, it's ok .. i can live with that ..
.. on the battery live i can't complain .. i started the a700 from the unboxing through, playing aroung with wifi and internet updates, mixed with mp3 playing and movie watching, and it lasted about 11 hours before reaching 1% .. pluged it in and in about 4 hours it came up to 100% .. second run was almost as long .. but for 3 days that's ok .. i thing in about a week, playing a few hours with the 3D games we all should know more about battery life ..
.. ah and another thing with movie watching .. when you watch xvid compresed movies, turn the HW decoding off and switch to SW decoding, or the movies will be played in double speed, like in fast forward . lol .. the brighness is ok and the picture is 'crystal clean' on 720p and upward compressed movies .. don't forget that most of the time it's a 1920x1128 screen resolution that has to be filled
.. that's it for the moment
qw1rt2,
Thanks for the info. Do you by any chance have any other tablet to compare the brightness because that seems to be a major concern right now. In almost all videos posted on youtube so far A700 seems to be quite dark compared to other tablets.
I got the A700 a week ago and i'm more than satisfied with it.
It's fluid with a great battery life.
The "heat" just warm up a little your hands, but it's useful for the french weather presently
I didn't have much time to test tegra 3 games but I'll hasteful to
Well I've decided to send both tablets back. Would have kept the A700, but its just not performing very well and is get really warm when playing games (80°-95°). I travel alot to very warm region especially Africa so the tablet will always freezes when it gets too warm. Will wait and see if Acer can rectify some of the issues or what the competition brings to the market before deciding
This is a pity because I was very fond of the A700.

.. i don't have another tablet at home, but i did something different ..
.. i thought that we are all 'practical guys' and some real live testing would be better than to just retype some 'testing under ideal conditions' .. so i took the a700 into town, and took pics from the 700 side-on-side with some other tabs .. the pictures are not the best quality, but the 'light and see-on conditions' are realistik, and u should see the 'big picture' .. fakt is, the display is darker under some conditions .. as you can see in the first two pictures it is not that darker from an sony or toshiba screen in full brightness .. where it definitely looses the brightness case, is against the samsung displays as seen in the two comparison pictures .. something above half the brightness of a samsung, is a full an the acer .. the two other pictures are outdoor pics, one on the window of a café and the other on a table outside of the café ..
.. i thing, just to play something with the words, the acer display isn't 'that darker', it's just 'shadier' .. on the other side, because of this fakt, the contrast is a'killer' and the color feeling is more 'dynamic' ..
.. so and the end i would say it depends on 'why' you buy the a700 .. are you an 'inside rooms' worker or more the 'outdoor' working type .. in the first case, the something darker display will not bother you .. in the second case it will .. extreme sun is not your friend ..
Well the note 2 is pretty much the best android device as of today ( October 11) , it is fast as hell, has a big beautiful screen, 2gigs of ram and is feature packed. How do you guys think the One X+ compare to it? Not a trolling thread please, just wanna see how the new comer (One X+ ) measures against the top dog (Note 2). Begin!
Well... I am interested in this also...
To me, it is all about the form factor. The Note 2 is good for heavy media/entertainment people. On the other hand, the HOX+ (or Teg3 HOX) is good for people like me who don't play game (or rarely) on their phone with focus on social media and communication (Facebook, IM, text msg) together with reading lot of news. I really wish that the Original HOX had the good battery as the Note 2.
I don't mind the no-SD card on the HOX because I only watch movie on Netflix and listening music on Pandora. When I need "quality, audiophile" music, I will use my Cowon S9 and Shure E530. I will stick with my International HOX for another good 2 years

Isn't one of Tegra 3's main selling point gaming? Also, HOX and HOX+ are PlayStation certified devices.
I didn't mean that the HOX is not designed for gaming. It is very good at it. I just said on my own experience when I made decision to stay with the HOX and not to buy the Note 2
The Note 2's screen will inevitably burn-in. One X+'s screen will remain as good as day 1.
When it comes to features the Note 2 wins, but it is too large and heavy to carry. The One X+ is the perfect size, and weight for me and from what hear HTC has fixed some of the issues with the phone. The One X+ has enough features, and comes with 64gb of storage out of the box, so I am going to give the international version a try.
I have a Note 10.1 which is pretty much the tablet version of the note 2 ( the 10,1is just downclocked a couple of hundred mhz). Sammy made a nice device it flys about android like its on steriods, but i don't like android without sense. Thats the main reason im choosing the one x+ over the N2/SGS 3

I totally understand your point here. I don't really play games on my smartphone either ( the games I play are words with friends, where's my perry, temple run, nothing graphic heavy) . I own the note 2 but I previously owned the HOX and I loved almost everything on it except battery life. But to this day, in my opinion of course, the one x is the best looking phone OF ALL TIMES. Yes I said it of all times. It is such a beautiful device, the screen is so nice crisp and easy to read even in direct sunlight. Now with the One x+ the processor being over clocked, bigger battery and more storage is definitely appealing. If only it had 2 gigs of ram I think I would have gone for it.

Hello friends, i have a nexus 4 from past 2 years and this phone is rock solid till date but just bored of this so wanna buy a new phone under 15k only, i have been looking these two devices from many days, mi4i has a brilliant display which is attracting me towards it and zf2 has a solid hardware plus mmc slot(however mmc slot is not my priority), yesterday it was the third time that mi4i was successfully added to my cart on flipkart but due to some bad reviews about mi4i that is poor performance and heating problem, i did not buy it, if its a software part then i am quite indulged in flashing stuff and i will not have any problem in flashing new roms, but if its hardware prob than i won't buy such device.
I just want the help of existing users that does this device really heats a lot even after new software update, and is there any performance issues on this phone, as many people saying thay are having lags while playing games or videos.
A brief suggestion would be appreciable

I was looking at both phones when i was looking for a spare phone. I didn't get the zf2 because i didnt like the power button placement on the top. The mi 4i also feels much nicer in the hand and so far it has been a good little phone for me. Just the 16gb is a little limited

How about the heating issue and lags in games
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
So far i haven't ran into any heating issues, but the phone does get a little warn during games. I've play world of tanks blitz and vain glory and both run very well. 30 - 50 fps in world of tanks.

If it heats near the camera while playing heavy games then i think its completely ok as my nexus 4 even gets too hot sometimes when i play heavy games, but some users are reporting that the fone even gets too hot while they are on a call, and what about camera howz its performance in low light

Camera- is great there a theard here in general section (Pics posted ) don't know abt night camera never used it but I have heard ppl complaining abt it depends on what ur comparing it with
Heating issue. With each update its getting less annoying for me it heats like a regular phone which I have used for before nvr only gets warm while gaming
Display- best feature
Speaker- are low
Miui- my opinion it sucks
Battery- best
Build- premium feel
Sent from my Mi 4i using Tapatalk
The area around the camera only gets warm and it's really not bad. Battery life is great, miui is ok, performance is quite good, screen quality is awesome. So far i am happy with it. Currently using it at my daily driver since i just got back my note 4 from service center.
Anyone recommend a budget friendly, solid headset for the Moto Z/F?
It would be cool to see a a VR set specifically for the MZF. I see a few possibilities on how they could make the VR another "mod" offering.
Maybe one with a wire...or wireless display to make it lighter and more comfortable
Is the Samsung VR compatible?

Sorry had to,but Im curious about vr for this phone, Im curious as to if the daydream viewer will work.
I got this one for $40 and it works well with my Moto Z Force https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KZ1392Y?tag=- It's a pretty neat experience when watching 3D or 360 videos. Only thing to keep in mind and something I was unaware of when I got mine is that some VR apps require a "action" button, which is a magnetic button that not all headsets come with. Mine does not have the "action" button. A lot of apps however let you choose to use a "action" button or to focus. The focus is pretty sweet. You just look at what you want to open.

Looks like daydream is officially supported with the Nougat update according to Moto here . I ordered one and should have it Wednesday. Just hope the OTA gets here in time.

Initial impression is pretty good. Remote is pretty cool and I tried a few apps and quality is good. I've been a little spoiled with my PSVR but this is great for mobile. I had to side load the daydream app and keyboard because play store said it was not compatible but it all seems to be working right now. Most daydream apps I could download but there was 1 or 2 games I had to side load. Quality seems on par with the GearVR but imo the remote is such a better input method than the touchpad on the GearVR. I only tested a little bit because the OTA drained my battery so I'm charging up now to test more later. If there's anything specific you want me to try let me know I'll be trying again in a little bit.
Edit: Guess I should point out I'm using the Moto Z Droid not the force. Not too sure how much of a difference the shattershield makes as far as quality.

Ok. Phones almost charged up so I'll try in a little. I tried one 360 video on YouTube earlier and it didn't look bad. Hulu I have installed but I gotta see if my subscription is still active. Netflix unfortunately wasn't on there yet. Yea I love the PSVR as far as gaming but imo it sucks for media use right now.
Just watched some family guy on Hulu and it wasn't too bad. Screen door effect is noticeable but not too bad imo. It's just like the Hulu app on my psvr and makes it seem like your sitting in a living room and you can change the environment. The YouTube app is pretty awesome too and works pretty well. The biggest gripe I have with this headset is the light bleed which you'll notice in a lot of reviews. It sort of leaves a glare on the lenses but it's not too noticeable when your actually getting into it. Overall I'm happy with the purchase.
Can you give your impressions on gaming? I have never used a VR headset and don't want to drop the money on a PSVR right now.
How is it playing action games or the new HP game? How is VR gaming experience overall? (In its infancy/pretty sweet/novelty)

So far I tried fantastic beast a little and it was ok but more like a virtual experience not bad for free though. Aside from that I tried VR karts which was fun steering with the remote. Heading out to shop right now but once back I'll try some more games. I know it won't really compare to my PSVR but in my past experiences with mobile VR the gaming isn't too bad.
Im curious, would changing the dpi alter the screen door effect at all since we now have full control over that?
I know all u phones are coming out but i have a few question.
Are the speaker that bad even with the new updates.
Second is the lag/stutter
I know this phone is the fastest and snappier. But i hate scrolling stutter and lag in the ui apps. For example. Twiter app on my gs8 was a lag fest while on my ex pixel 2 xl was buttery smooth. Same for facebook. Does stutter lag occurs?

speaker...is still average ....but other than that.... oneplus 6 is a complete beast go for it.... and $400 is gr8 deal !!
For me the speaker is a hardware issue so no update can impact it.
Having said that I have no issues with the speaker.. Could be of course better (but that is true for many other phones as well) but it's completely usable for me
And I experience no stutter in any app - the phone is very smooth and super fast for me...
The price you got is a very good price go for it!
Hells yeah
buy it!
Hard to say no to that price...
Do it. Lol
e buy it
Impression with my new OP 6 is that I don't see any issue that they said on review apply to me at all
speaker: it's not good, but not bad, and occasionally listen to music while in the bath with the phone in the cup still sounds good enough for me (I'm not audiophile but I do pay attention to sounds if it's not suit my taste) also V4A seems to help it
lag/stutter: yes, it does have that, but it's rare, like, really rare. I think I just experienced it twice since I got the phone, and it's just a quick one, maybe mere second, not a big deal.
I want to point out that some said battery is not good (and it does look like that on spec compared to other phones) but I totally have no issue and I'm a medium user, never need to desparately looking for a place to charge. And once you use Dash charge, I think you will be amaze, I don't know how I will live without it anymore, I will get Dash instead of wireless any day at least for a few years.
speaker quality isn't great, but it's audible. stereo mod and v4a makes it a bit better.
if speaker is a concern because you want to be gaming it might be terrible since it's really easy to cover up the bottom facing speaker.. but it's hard to beat the phone at retail price, personally wound't hesitate at $400

This phone never lags.
$400 is a GREAT prince
The speaker.... its pretty bland when holding it in the air. BUT it's actually made to sound great on a flat surface. It uses the phone, flat surface, and speaker to produce a good sound. I actually love it like that.
I don't know why people are complaining about the OP6 speaker. It sounds a hellova lot better than my older phones. My older phone's speakers were like listening to an AM radio station. At least the OP6 has some bass to it and sounds more like an FM radio station. It's not on par with the LG G7's speaker with it's resonance chamber, I had on it works. But that is just about the only thing the G7 had going for it, crappy screen with terrible light bleed, the cameras were sub par, the pictures taken looked good as long as you didn't zoom in on them because then you would see just how low detail photo's it takes. More MegaPixals doesn't necessarily translate to a better picture. It's the sensor's pixal size and the aperture size that counts. My only complaint with the OP6 is the focal distance of the camera's, the crop is way too close and the fisheye effect of objects with vertical lines.

You can get this by using a custom ROM like liquid remix its buttery smooth and has pie
$400 seems like a good price, but what are you getting and what's in the package? Is it a brand new phone? Is it the 64GB/6GB RAM version or are the specs higher than that? Will you be fully covered by warranty? OP has some specials where you could get a couple of extras with the phone for free, at least in the US. It's great to get a discount, of course, but it's not worth that much if you're not fully covered in case something goes wrong during the warranty period.
